Participate in the parade for the First Time Ever possibly an international history. And the thank you notes i got that read dear pride parade if you for getting the girl scouts in the prooid parade this year. For me this is what pride parade means and some of the varieties each girl gave. Helping me understand diversity in the lgbt world. Pride acceptance. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you to complete your statement. Supporting the community, unity and growth, same sex marriage. San Francisco Pride has been ever evolve but for it to continue to grow and continue to be the inspiration as i see it above, they must reinstate those process suggested in the controllers report. They need to improve accountability and other interested parties. Conduct businesses with complete transparency as outlined in the documents. Including best practices and exercise best resources before going to outside resources who have no knowledge or experience. There is a perceived threat of retribution o
You think its doing, the organization . Well, the organization brought in a lot of money this year. I think that it had a lot of reasons, one, the economy is improving, two, the marriage issue was a big deal. Prop 8, this is the home where all that started. I do believe that the sponsors realized no matter how to decisions were going to go that this was going to be a Million People in San Francisco. So sponsors did come to us and i have reservations on how sponsor fulfillment was done. I have received a bunch of phone calls from sponsors who were not pleased personally because i know them. Operationally i wish the funds had come in sooner because i might have been able to procure talent early on. By the time the funds arrived, it was hard to book someone. They were already booked in other prides. But we that had litigants from pride that present stars as themselves. I act as a contractor and i make sure that pride understand that im an independent contractor and im not to be directed.
My name is brook oliver. I resigned this year. I declined an opportunity to run for the board of directors of San Francisco pride also to maintain my independence. Im unexperienced nob profit General Council for dikes on bikes and a great deal of my practice focuses on major event production. This San Francisco pride, i would like to provide some of my own personal opinions and analysis of San Francisco pride. The board of directors has not asked me for my analysis and so im going to provide it had are in public. There has been a tremendous amount of care and attention devoted to raising the money and getting out of that deficit. Lisa williams is entitled to great thanks and respect for having do that. I personally was with her night after night until 1 or 2 00 a. M. Watching her reconstruct that organization and try to put into place the controllers recommendation so i think what mr. Copper said is unfair and possibly devoted to maybe some self interest in trying to get San Francisco
